No! - Scandisk will only report problems if file system data is overwritten. What I suggest is:- Create first partition from DOS boot disk, and select size one "step" below the maximum available (so approx 8GB, less 7 MB). Install Win'2K. Create 7MB "buffer" partition (7MB FAT is smallest partition possible). Create 78MB partition (71MB proved too small on my L110/64MB RAM) Create another 7MB "buffer" partition Completely fill the 7MB and 78MB partitions with .JPG files. Power down; boot from floppy; hibernate. Re-boot to Win'2K. View the .JPG files (thumbnails in Windows Explorer). The .JPGs in the 78MB partition should be trashed. The .JPGs in the 7MB partitions should be OK. > I still have doubts about the crash of the old L100. > I had the largest possible first partition with Win98 and second > partition with XP. After hibernation XP was dead. How big was the space you left between the partitions? > But shouldn't the hibernation data be written in the end of the first > partition, not in the beginning of the second one? I think the hibernation data is written from the end of the disk backwards, towards the beginning - so it's the same starting point for the write no matter how much memeory you have installed, and a different amount of space is reserved depending on how much memory you have installed. So yes, if it overwrites something, most likely is the beginning of the following partition. > Or may be my first partition was a little smaller and second one > started a little earlier? Check for evidence in the 7GB buffer partitions. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
